Many women swear by honey in their beauty routine.  It's a common ingredient in many delectable beauty products because its an excellent natural moisturizer and conditioner.  While many of us aren't brave (or skilled) enough for do-it-yourself hair cuts and bikini waxes, we love using honey for easy DIY skin and hair treatments. 

We've talked about using it as a face mask: now try these other honey DIY's: 

Body Scrub: Kristen Bell (NBC's Heroes) mixes honey with a few scoops of brown sugar and uses the concoction as a body scrub.  Whip up a big batch and keep it in the shower for daily use.

Bath: Add a few tablespoons of honey in a warm bath and relax in the sweet scent - easy!

Hair: For soft and shiny hair, mix 1-2 teaspoons of honey with 4 cups of warm water and gently massage through your hair after shampooing and conditioning.  No need to rinse!

Not into DIY-ing?  Try these store-bought alternatives:


Bath & Body Works Organic Honey Pear Body Scrub ($22) buffs and nourishes your skin.

Lush Honey Bee Bath Bomb ($6.40) naturally moisturizes and softens and leaves a delicious smelling blend of honey and caramel.  Mmm.

The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Hair Butter ($14) uses organic and fair trade honey as a key ingredient to moisturize and condition your hair and scalp.
